Time for him to wake up

[moot]

Yes I live in St Ouen.  James Reed is well known in the parish, and is generally seen as a helpful and amiable person. Politically somewhat different from my generally liberal views.  I hear distinct indication that there may be a contested election in the parish this year.  Elections here abouts are influenced by such considerations as whether you  are  a Vibert, Le Brocq or Carre. 

Unopposed ?   Zzzzzzzzzzzz

Not exactly good for democracy is it? That's the second time Deputy Reed has been returned unopposed, and many people can't remember a contested connetable election in the parish (at least 15 years).  There are at least 2 St Ouen residents contesting deputy seats, but elsewhere in the island.

You would have thought one of the resident pheasants would give Reed a " run" for his money !

In today's JEP he expresses his wish to become Minister for Education
What, to be educated ?

Hi all

I can't believe he was unopposed... I think next time i will have to stand against him - can't let him get away with it.

Unfortunately he's back in and if he gets to be Minister for Education then I might as well leave the island. He can't even do a speech in the house without getting told off (reading it is NOT allowed) he goes with the flow for an easy life and always has done. He has no views of his own and does what he is told to be the people behind the scenes at the farmyard. NOT GOOD.

As for contested elections.... no i don't think there has been one for constable for a number of years. However Ken Vibert and his predecessor Arthur Queree are and were good constables.  The last contest i believe was in fact for Procurer (sorry about spelling) between Nigel Hall (former chef de police) and Richard Renouf (son of the retiring procurer)... funny that a lot of the people out voting and in definite camps for Renouf were similar to those for when Reed got elected.. perhaps they are part of a secret society??

Apologies, it was based on hearsay only

I think that is a somewhat libellous comment moot and rather lets down the image of PJ.

Sorry, I overstepped the mark.
